Re: THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

Your fooling yourself by thinking Barden is anything more than just a message board name. Hixon has a connection with Eli which would be perfect with Cruz and Nicks ahead of him...[/quote]

I'm not so much Pro Barden as I am Anti Hixon.

Hixon would result in the lowest production out of any receiver on our roster as a the 3rd receiver right now in my opinion, Barden Jernigan whoever we pick up...any of them will do better.

Hixon is (and always was) a KR/PR Special Teams guy...Eli made him look like a decent WR one year...big deal...he can do that with anyone on our roster.

I'm anti-Hixon as a receiver also. I remember a few years ago, I was debating with MH about this.(big ****ing surprise). He said Hixon was going to be our best receiver, and then we drafted Nicks after a terribly mediocre season from Hixon anyway, and it was "hixon who?", I said he was an ok as a filler, but clearly not the answer as the guy displayed some butterfingers. I thought he redeemed himself in the Rams game this year with the juggling catch. but uhh...he tore his ACL for the 2nd season in a row on that play, so yea, honestly...i dont want him near the ball on offense. At least as a returner, he has teh ability to show his ability, but we can use Thomas, Jerrnigan, and others on returns if need be.</P>

Re: THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

You two are being silly. 08 Hixon 49 and 500 yards playing behind plax and tooms. What kind of numbers are you looking for in a number 3?
The man can run decent routes, catch, break tackles. If neither JJ or Barden are ready, Hixon is a good option.

nobody disagrees with the fact that if Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham, and Steve Smith are on the team that Hixon wouldn't be the #3

Well....Toomer had a nearly IDENTICAL season to Hixon.
It's not like Hixon made the season or anything...in fact, he dropped that were sure things, and made us all cringe, but i digress, how quickly we forget.
Our running game and Eli Manning were the only thing that made Hixon look like a serviceable receiver.

My point: I dont want us to get to the point where Hixon is an option. Last resort maybe, sure...lol....but not an option</P>
